FY14 Annual Report (Page 1)

1.0 Introduction

The Metropolitan Government of Nashville Davidson County (Metro) was issued the third cycle of the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit effective February 1, 2012. Under this permit, the reporting period for each permit year coincides with Metro’s Fiscal Year (FY) (July 1st through June 30th). The reporting period for this report will be referred to as Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14), which represents the period between July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. Each year there are numerous individuals within different Metro Departments that work toward achieving overall MS4 Permit compliance. As a measure to ensure permit compliance within the various facets of Metro Nashville and Davidson County Government, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Section was created to oversee all permit compliance activities. The NPDES Section, within Metro Water Services (MWS) Stormwater Division, is responsible for performing specific MS4 permit requirements such as illicit discharge investigations, runoff sampling, construction site inspections, field screening inspections, industrial inspections, etc. In addition, the NPDES Section is responsible for coordinating with various other Metro Departments to ensure permit compliance measures are being followed on a Metro-wide basis. The following table is a list of individuals that contributed to specific permit compliance activities/information during FY14. Any inquiries regarding information represented in this report should be directed to the MWS Stormwater NPDES Section (Attn: Josh Hayes) at 1607 County Hospital Rd, Nashville, Tennessee, 37218, Phone: 615-880-2420, Email: [email protected].

FY14-Annual Report (Page 4)

1.1 Objective of the Program The objective of the Stormwater Management Program is to implement specific pollution prevention programs designed to improve the quality of Metro’s water resources to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP), particularly as it relates to improving the quality of discharges from Metro’s MS4. This leads to an overall goal of maintaining MS4 permit compliance, while simultaneously achieving water quality improvements in every Metro stream reach included on the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation’s (TDEC’s) 303(d) list of impaired streams. It is Metro’s long-term goal to reduce pollutant loadings from the MS4 as much as possible to remove a majority of the streams from the 303(d) list that are indicated as mpaired by MS4 runoff. During the first two MS4 permit cycles, Metro implemented major programs to target the various sources of stormwater pollution (i.e. construction sites, industrial sites, commercial sites, residential sites, etc.). Overall, the implementation of these control programs has worked to significantly reduce and minimize pollutants from entering the MS4 drainage system and the receiving streams. With issuance of the 3rd cycle of the MS4 Permit, Metro has taken the opportunity to evaluate and make necessary modifications to further improve the program’s effectiveness.

1.2 Major Findings Each year there are fewer and fewer major discoveries of pollution to the MS4 drainage, which can be largely contributed to the long term implementation of the core pollution prevention programs described further in this document. Some of the more notable findings impacting water quality of the MS4 and Metro streams during FY14 are described in the following paragraphs: 1.2.1 Illicit Cross Connection of a Commercial Wash Bay to the Storm Sewer MWS NPDES received a citizen complaint about wash water from a commercial car wash discharging to an outside parking lot. Upon investigating, the NPDES inspector found an active discharge of over 100 gallons per day of soapy water draining to the MS4 and eventually to Richland Creek. The water was tested with a field detergent kit and found to contain a concentration of 3.0 mg/l of detergents. NPDES coordinated with the site representative and discovered that the discharge to the outside parking lot began recently and was caused by a clogged sewer line in the wash bay. As a result of NPDES enforcement action, the plumbing issue with the wash bay was corrected and discharges of wash water to the outside parking lot and Richland Creek were eliminated.



1.2.2 Broken Sanitary Sewer Service Lateral Discharging to the MS4 After following up on a citizen complaint of a sanitary sewer discharge, MWS NPDES found an overflowing manhole from a private townhome development. NPDES issued enforcement to the facility requiring them to clean up the exposed sewage material and to determine the cause of the infrastructure failure resulting in the overflow. As a result of NPDES enforcement, the failing sanitary sewer infrastructure was repaired and the sewage material was appropriately remediated.

1.2.3 Construction Illicit On two separate occasions, MWS NPDES received a citizen complaint of murky colored water in Sugartree Creek. In both instances, the murky colored water was traced back to a private construction site that was pumping unfiltered pit water to the open ground and storm sewer before discharging into Sugartree Creek. Two separate Notices of Violation (NOVs) were issued to the site with administrative penalties totaling $7,600. A Stop Work Order (SWO) was issued after the second offense and the site was required to cease construction until controls were in place to prevent unfiltered pit pump water from discharging into the MS4 and Sugartree Creek. 1.2.4 Eliminating a Human Source of Bacteria into a 303(d)-Listed Stream In previous permit years, the MWS Stormwater NPDES Watershed Group was able to identify, through Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis, a small tributary to Richland Creek (Bosley Springs Branch) that contained unusually high levels of bacteria associated with human hosts



(HuBac). Bosley Springs Branch is listed on the state of Tennessee’s 303(d) list as impaired by pathogens. The Watershed Group coordinated with an active construction site to discover and repair a broken sanitary sewer service lateral that was causing human sewage to seep into Bosley Springs Branch. After the site made the necessary repairs to eliminate the sewage discharge, the Watershed Group has continued to sample for several years, including FY14. As a result of the continuous sampling/monitoring, the Watershed Group determined that the bacteria counts and human host signatures have continued to drop. Based on these findings, MWS will continue to sample with hopes to isolate and eliminate additional sources of pathogens to the creek to levels below impairment status.

1.3 Major Stormwater Management Program Accomplishments and Highlights 1.3.1 MWS Stormwater Division: The MWS Stormwater Division has continued to facilitate major accomplishments in development of the overall Stormwater Management Program. Particular accomplishments performed in recent years are listed below:

SWMP Implementation: In FY14, NPDES continued implementation of the Metro Nashville MS4 Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) that was developed during the previous permit reporting period. The SWMP, as required by the new MS4 permit, is a formal document that provides a comprehensive narrative description of Metro Nashville’s overall Stormwater Management Program. The SWMP describes Metro’s methods of achieving each MS4 permit required activity. The SWMP is an internal program document that is reviewed each year to determine if improvements or changes need to be made. During FY14, the SWMP was reviewed and no major changes were warranted.

Public Education: MWS’ Stormwater Department continued to increase involvement on public education activities by implementing various prescribed actions of the Public Involvement/Education (PIE) plan created during the previous reporting period. Below are some examples of additional public education activities that were undertaken during FY14:

• Industrial Stormwater/Sanitary Pre-treatment Operator Workshop MWS NPDES Stormwater, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), and the MWS Sanitary Sewer Pre-treatment Section teamed up to host a half day training workshop for private industrial operators. The workshop provided background information on all the permits required to discharge stormwater and process water associated with industrial facilities. Over 40 industrial operators within the Davidson County service area attended the workshop.



• Cigarette Butt Campaign MWS Stormwater NPDES partnered with the Public Works Beautification Program on a grant awarded from the Keep America Beautiful organization to implement an anti-cigarette littering campaign during the busy Country Music Association Festival (CMA). Prior to the event, Metro worked with various organizations to strategically place an electronic billboard message on eliminating cigarette butt litter. It is estimated that approximately 965,812 vehicles travelled past the billboard during the 2 weeks it was posted. Additionally, personnel from MWS and Public Works hosted a booth during the CMA in which approximately 5,000 pocket ashtrays were handed out to the general public.

• Urban Runoff 5K During FY14, MWS partnered with TDEC, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, and other local Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) to host the 1st Annual Urban Runoff 5K. The event was a family-oriented run/walk through downtown Nashville that highlighted several stormwater-friendly green infrastructure projects such as Tennessee’s first green street (Deaderick Street) and the large green roof over the Metro Courthouse parking garage. In addition to the actual race, several local organizations and government agencies hosted exhibitor booths as part of the Water Quality Festival that occurred during and after the race. Over 240 runners registered for the race as well as various other walk-up attendees of the Water Quality Festival.

• Landscaping Company Mail-out As a component of the PIE plan, NPDES mailed out brochures to Landscaping Companies with locations within Davidson County. NPDES created a list of 92 companies that perform landscaping work involving the potential use of fertilizers and pesticides. The brochure promotes good behavior that could be instituted during normal landscaping activities that will reduce the amount of pollutants from discharging to local water bodies.

• Municipal Employee Specific Training As part of the SWMP, NPDES created specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that are focused on reducing potential impacts to stormwater runoff from maintenance activities performed by various departments. In addition, NPDES purchased a 30-minute video, produced by Excal Visual that also presents ways to prevent impacts to stormwater runoff from typical maintenance activities. NPDES has posted various training materials on the internal intranet for some of the key Metro maintenance staff to view.



Floodplain Buyout Properties: Over the years, MWS Stormwater’s floodplain buyout program has worked to restore floodplain storage and riparian habitat in various watersheds within the county. The MWS Stormwater Division has been participating in the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) buyout program for more than 16 years. Since MWS began participating in the home buyout program, Metro has purchased more than 300 floodplain properties in which structures and other impervious surfaces such as driveways have been removed from the floodplain. Over the years, Metro has ceased mowing areas adjacent to streams allowing buffers to naturally reestablish. MWS Stormwater has also coordinated the plantings of hundreds of native trees and shrubs within many of these floodplain properties. Many of the buyout sites are adjoining parcels within the same floodplain, resulting in the restoration of large continuous tracks of riparian floodplain. Many of these floodplain properties also provide a recreational value to local neighborhoods as they are now managed and protected by the Metro’s Parks Department.

In 2011, MWS began a partnership with the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Division of Forestry (TDF) in their Clean Water from Urban Forests Riparian Buffer grant. The goal of this grant is to restore riparian buffers along streams and waterways in 8 priority watersheds: Upper and Lower Mill Creek, Richland Creek, Browns Creek, Hurricane Creek, Stone's River Middle, Stone's River Upper, and Whites Creek. As a result of this partnership, over 600 volunteers have planted more than 10,000 trees along 1.6 miles of streams on Metro’s floodplain buyout properties. Additional plantings are planned for the next year.

Stormwater LID Manual: In anticipation of stormwater infiltration requirements within the MS4 permits, Metro Nashville previously procured the services of a consulting firm to compile a new volume (Volume V) of the Stormwater Management Manual. Volume V, also known as the Low Impact Development (LID) Manual, was finalized during FY12 and has been utilized by various developments during FY14. The LID Manual provides incentives to offer future developments the opportunity to utilize green infrastructure design approaches as an alternative to the traditional 80% total suspended solids (TSS) removal design techniques. The use of green infrastructure will become mandatory in 2016, but until then, MWS Stormwater will continue to offer various incentives to developments if green infrastructure approaches are proposed. Such incentives include a waiver of plan review fees, stormwater user fee reduction, and other credits. MWS Stormwater solicited feedback from stakeholder groups that included the local development community during development of the new manual.



1.3.2 Other Metro Department Activities: In addition to MWS Stormwater Division Activities, many other Metro Departments perform critical roles in promoting improved stormwater quality runoff throughout Metro Nashville.

Parks Department Metro’s Parks Department has been a key player in improving stormwater runoff and riparian habitat on Metro properties. Below are some of the major Parks Department activities that have served to improve the quality of stormwater runoff: Dog Waste Pick-up On Parks Property – During the reporting year, approximately 376,200

dog waste bags (90% of the bags distributed) were estimated as being used at Metro Parks properties. Based on the amount of dog waste bags distributed, it is estimated that approximately 112,860 pounds (56.4 tons) of dog waste were collected for proper disposal.

Tree Planting Projects – During the reporting period, the Parks Department facilitated the planting of 456 trees. Below are the projects in which trees were planted:

Project Trees Planted East Park 2 Commerce Street 11 James Robertson Parkway 5 Metro Ct Football Fields 35 South Inglewood 3 Shelby Park 12 Two Rivers Dog Park 25 Rosa Parks 5 5th Avenue North 1 Woodland Street 4 2nd and Church 2 Bells Bend 10 Centennial Sportsplex 5 Fannie Mae Dees 15 Harpeth Knoll 6 Park Terrace 12 Sevier 30 St. Bernard 5 Richland Greenway (White Bridge) 3 Woodmont Park 1 Centennial Park 8 Percy Warner Parking Lot 15 Pitts Dog Park 15 Monroe Street 5 Arthur Street 25 Harpeth River greenway 100

Other Parks Department Projects – The following Parks Department projects/land acquisitions have also helped to protect and improve aquatic habitat throughout Davidson County: • 103 acre addition to Cedar Hill Park; • 75 acres on West Hamilton Rd along the Whites Creek Greenway; • 101 acres on the Cumberland River adjacent to Crooked Branch Park; • 5 acre site on Cumberland River in Pennington Bend; • Completed construction of the Sevier Park Community Center, including an 800

square foot green roof and two bioretention gardens;



• Completed construction of two pervious parking lots including bioretention areas: Warner Park at the Warner Golf Course (lot: 141 spaces) and at Bells Bend Park (lot: 40 spaces);

• Completed bioretention area to treat water from the new Sportsplex Fitness Center; • The Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation is working with the Tennessee

Stream Mitigation Program to restore the stream channel through Shelby Park Golf Course – the stream is currently piped or runs in a concrete lined channel. The design phase is underway; and

• Through environmental education programs, interpretive exhibits, green facilities, and watershed protection, Metro Parks Nature Centers have a direct and valuable positive impact on water quality and conservation. Of the approximately 30,000 individuals who participate in nature center programs throughout the year, as many as 10,000 receive education and information directly related to water resources. Several thousand more are exposed to water resources education through educational exhibits at the four Metro Parks nature centers. Each of these nature centers also feature amenities that conserve water resources and provide passive education opportunities to visitors. These include green roofs, water chains, rain barrels, teaching ponds, stream bank restoration areas, pervious paving materials, rain gardens and cisterns. Finally, the majority of the Parks and Recreation Department’s 13,000 acres and 60 miles of greenway corridor is maintained in a natural condition, providing vitally important protection to our watersheds.

Planning Department Nashville’s Planning Department focuses on sustainable development as described in the Community Character Manual, which encourages sustainable development and preservation in Nashville/Davidson County’s fourteen community plans that guide future land use and infrastructure decisions. A foundational principle of the Community Character Manual is the commitment to create sustainable communities through sustainable development. Key strategies include actions to address each property’s unique location and features, while avoiding sensitive environmental features. This benefits the community by protecting water quality, as well as reducing the impact of development on surrounding infrastructure and the community through the use of best practices in stormwater and wastewater management. In addition, the Community Character Manual includes objectives of the EPA and Metro Nashville’s Stormwater Management Program, such as encouraging green infrastructure, protecting headwater areas, minimizing and/or recovering floodplain loss, and retaining or re-creating natural stream buffers. The Community Character Manual also includes a section of general principles for Healthy Community Design, which highlights the importance of minimizing the impact of development on the natural environment, especially air and water quality, and of integrating open space in developments for preservation and recreation. During 2014, the Planning Department continued to lead the city’s update to Nashville’s General Plan; also referred to as NashvilleNext. Early in the process (2013), the Planning Department worked with area professionals and experts, including Metro Departments, to create a series of eighteen background reports. Each report provided readers with a summary of national best practices and what Nashville is doing to address each topic. During 2014, Planning staff have continued those conversations to include gathering additional input and ideas from the community. Planning staff also convened seven Resource Teams which are made up of local volunteers with expertise in each team's topic. Those teams have provided guidance and perspective to planners in discussing key trends and driving forces – the societal and economic factors which affect each topic. Three Resource Teams touch on natural resources and sustainable development issues – Natural Resources & Hazard Adaptation; Health, Livability & the Built Environment; and Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure. The Natural Resources & Hazard Adaptation Resource Team has focused much of their time on air, land and water. Discussions have included the interplay of land development, infrastructure choices,



impacts on natural resources, climate change, and increasing green infrastructure, including low impact development and population growth. The Health, Livability & the Built Environment Resource Team has discussed the importance of green spaces in our daily lives and overall health and wellness, including the role that natural resources play in our overall quality of life. The Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure Resource Team builds on all the discussions from the other six Resource Teams and frames the discussion through the lens of linking land use, transportation and infrastructure decisions. This team has representatives from Metro Water Services involved in discussions and recommendations. Work from these teams will be incorporated into the NashvilleNext Plan document later this year. The Planning Department has updated the way it maps Conservation Land Use Policy to be more comprehensive and reflect the latest data. In the past, Conservation policy was drawn as polygons within the policy shapefile (ArcMap GIS) as part of each Community Plan Update process. As such, Conservation polygons could become outdated as various layers of data were updated outside of each Community Plan Update process (there are fourteen Community Plans, and each one is updated every seven to ten years). Now Conservation Policy is mapped as a group layer, comprised of data from FEMA floodways/floodplains; Metro Stormwater Buffers; steep slopes (20% slope and greater); and problem/unstable soils. This Conservation Policy layer is placed on top of the second land use policy layer so that as each of these datasets is updated, the most comprehensive and current information is immediately reflected on the map for both Metro and the public’s use. The Planning Department also continues its collaboration with Metro Parks and Greenways and the Land Trust for Tennessee by identifying properties that would be good additions to Nashville’s open space network. This includes properties that are important to preserve for headwater areas, for wildlife habitat, and for water management in flood-prone areas. On a daily basis, the Planning Department meets with property owners and development professionals to discuss property ideas and projects. Planning staff discuss the importance of working within the natural features of each site, including features such as waterways, wet weather conveyances, drainage patterns, steep slopes, woodlands, riparian habitat and mature trees. Where appropriate, Planning staff direct property owners and development professionals to continue those discussions with Metro Water Services and the Stormwater Division for additional guidance and ideas. MWS Engineering Division The MWS Engineering Division and the Overflow Abatement Program (OAP) overseeing the sanitary sewer systems have worked diligently to minimize the volume of unintentional discharges of sanitary sewer to the MS4 and community waterways. MWS has dramatically increased its involvement on projects to reduce overflows from both the Combined Sewer System (CSS) and the Separate Sewer System (SSS). The following list of projects exemplify MWS’ recent commitments to reducing discharges of sanitary waste:

MWS System Services Division The Metro Water Services System Services Division (SSD) and contractor firms continued to inspect and clean sewers to assess conditions and prevent potential overflows. In FY14 SSD inspected with Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) approximately 840,998 linear feet and cleaned approximately 505,709 linear feet of sewer line. SSD began using new acoustic technology to make rapid assessments of potential blockages of sewer line segments. The tool called Sewer Line – Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT) will assist SSD in assessing more sewers to prevent blockages and resulting overflows. In FY14, approximately 4,788,510 linear feet of sanitary sewer line were assessed using the SL-RAT technology.

During FY14, SSD continuously reviewed information from CCTV sewer inspection reports that indicated sewer problems with grease or roots. In some instances letters were sent out to notify customers of roots or grease in their service lines or main lines and recommend corrective actions to prevent sewer overflows. In previous years, SSD revised the sewer service line brochure to assist customers in correcting private sewer problems and educate them on how to prevent toilet and drain clogs. MWS has a staff member to oversee school-specific education programs, public education events and development of public education materials. The estimated/reported MWS sewer overflows for FY14 are depicted in Table 7H.5 within Section 3 of this report.

C. What specific sources of these pollutants of concern are you targeting?

Pathogens (pet waste, sanitary sewer leaks), Siltation (construction sites), Oil & Grease (industries/commercial sites), and Nutrients (pet waste, sanitary sewer leaks, fertilizer application)

D. Do you have discharges to any Exceptional TN Waters (ETWs) or Outstanding National Resource Waters (ONRWs)? A large portion of the county drains to Mill Creek, which is listed as an ETW due to the presence of the federally endangered Nashville Crayfish (Orconectes shoupi). A portion of the Harpeth River in Davidson County is listed as a State Scenic Riverway.

X Yes No

E. Are you implementing additional specific provisions to ensure the continued integrity of ETWs or ONRWS located within your jurisdiction? Specific public education activities are planned for certain residential areas that drain to the Harpeth River and commercial/industrial areas that drain to Mill Creek. Nutrient and pathogen reduction education will be focused on that area. The MWS NPDES Stormwater Maintenance Sections and the MWS Sanitary Sewer Division have been trained on limiting in-creek excavation work within the Mill Creek watershed.

4. Public Education and Public Participation A. Is your public education program targeting specific pollutants and sources of those pollutants?

X Yes No

B. If yes, what are the specific causes, sources and/or pollutants addressed by your public education program?

Pathogens (pet waste), Siltation (development sites), Nutrients (residential lawn maintenance & pet waste), and Oil & Grease (Commercial/Industrial Facilities)

C. Note specific successful outcome(s) (NOT tasks, events, publications) fully or partially attributable to your public education program during this reporting period.

During the reporting period, the NPDES Section mailed out informational flyers to 92 commercial landscaping companies, which is defined within the PIE plan as a targeted audience group. The informational flyers were designed to educate landscaping companies on the proper use of chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) and the proper disposal of yard waste such as grass clippings, leaves, and brush. The NPDES Section also co-hosted a workshop with TDEC and the MWS Sanitary Sewer Pre-treatment Section for industrial operators within Davidson County. The half day workshop was designed to train plant managers, environmental managers, etc. at local industrial facilities on permit requirements and specific BMPs that could be implemented to improve stormwater runoff. Over 40 industrial operators attended the workshop and feedback was very positive.

D. Do you have an advisory committee or other body comprised of the public and other stakeholders that provides regular input on your stormwater program?

X Yes No



E. Provide a summary of all public meetings required by the permit. Metro Nashville has various agencies that perform projects involving public meetings. For example, the MWS Stormwater Remedial Maintenance Section holds meetings for certain large-scale maintenance projects on an as-needed basis. The Metro General Services Department holds various public meetings for large Metro Development activities. The Metro Department of Public Works also has various public meetings. Metro Water Services also conducts public meetings relating to “water/sewer” projects prone to draw community interest. In previous permit years, the MWS Stormwater Division coordinated meeting with stakeholders from the development community, which were referred to as the Stormwater Advisory Committee (SWAC). In January of 2014, the SWAC merged with another community of stakeholders referred to as the Development Advisory Group. The Development Advisory Group will routinely meet to discuss development and permitting within Metro Nashville. The meetings will be initiated in the following reporting period (FY15). In addition to the Development Advisory Group, MWS Stormwater convened a separate community stakeholder group to discuss new regulations/oversight of infill development. In FY14, MWS’s contractor facilitated 11 meetings with community stakeholders. In addition, MWS Stormwater also facilitates monthly meetings with the Stormwater Management Committee for sites appealing specific stormwater regulations. These meetings are also available to the public attend and comment.

5. Codes and Ordinances Review and Update A. Is a completed copy of the EPA Water Quality Scorecard submitted with this report? A copy of the scorecard was submitted in the FY12 annual report.

Yes X No

B. Include status of implementation of code, ordinance and/or policy revisions associated with permanent stormwater management. MWS Stormwater has already developed a new volume of the Stormwater Management Manual (Volume 5) dedicated to promoting/incentivizing the use of Low Impact Development (LID) techniques for post development stormwater management. During the reporting period for this annual report, there were 70 engineered plans submitted for a Grading Permit that include LID components on the design of stormwater permanent treatment practices. MWS Stormwater will continue to evaluate and coordinate with other Metro Departments to implement measures to reduce barriers to LID techniques.

6. Construction A. Do you have an ordinance or adopted policies stipulating:

Erosion and sediment control requirements? X Yes No

Have you developed written procedures for site plan review and approval? X Yes No

Do the written procedures for site plan review and approval include an evaluation of plan completeness and overall BMP effectiveness?

X Yes No

Have you developed written procedures for managing public input on projects?

MWS continued to develop a partnership with the Cumberland River Compact and the Nature Conservancy in FY14 to develop a Davidson County Watershed Stewardship Plan. A large component of the plan will involve stakeholder meetings and a process for Public Involvement/Input to the Stewardship Plan

Yes X No

(See Notes)

Have you developed written procedures for site inspection and enforcement? X Yes No

Have all MS4 Inspectors maintained certification under the Tennessee Fundamentals of Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control, Level 1?

X Yes No



Have all MS4 site plan reviewers maintained certification under the Tennessee Fundamentals of Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control, Level 2?

X Yes No

B. How many active construction sites disturbing at least one acre were there in your jurisdiction this reporting period? Refer to attached Table 6B.1. There were 318 grading permits issued during FY14 and 159 were completed in FY14. Not all of the Grading Permits were for sites over an acre (requiring a TDEC General Construction Stormwater Permit). All sites that grade over an acre are required to also obtain a grading permit and must have coverage under the State’s General Construction Stormwater Permit prior to receiving a Metro Grading Permit.

C. How many of these active sites did you inspect this reporting period? Refer to attached Table 6C.1. MWS NPDES Section performed 6,064 construction related inspections in FY14. The inspections were performed on Grading Permit sites under construction. This includes inspections of smaller construction activities that were under an acre in size, but still required to obtain a Metro grading permit. In addition, MWS Stormwater also provides oversight and guidance to small construction activities with total disturbed area of less than 10,000 square feet (not requiring a standard grading permit). Refer to the attached Table 6C.2 for small construction project oversight numbers.

D. On average, how many times each, or with what frequency, were these sites inspected (e.g., weekly, monthly, etc.)? MWS Stormwater NPDES adjusted the inspection frequency policy mid-way through the previous permit year to inspect all active construction sites at least once per month.

Monthly

E. Do you prioritize certain construction sites for more frequent inspections? X Yes No

If Yes, based on what criteria? All active permit sites are prioritized to receive inspections at least once per month. This meets and exceeds the permit requirement to perform monthly inspections of 303(d) listed siltation-impaired streams.

7. Illicit Discharge Elimination A. Have you completed a map of all known outfalls and receiving waters of your storm sewer system?

X Yes No

B. Have you completed a map of all known storm drain pipes of storm sewer system?

X Yes No

C. How many outfalls have you identified in your system? Metro has undergone several iterations of mapping updates of stormwater infrastructure into the Geographic Information System (GIS). Please note that the entire stormwater drainage system was collected for Davidson County over a decade ago. Originally there were over 7,000 outfalls mapped within the GIS system. The criteria used during the original inventory resulted in outfalls being mapped at the intersection of every pipe and channel. This methodology incorrectly identified the number of actual MS4 permitted outfalls. During the previous reporting period, MWS Stormwater’s contractor completed a project to re-delineate the outfall layer (grid by grid) with the focus of verifying “actual” MS4 permitted outfalls. While the focus was mapping MS4-permitted outfalls, MWS NPDES also had the contractor create the following two outfall layers: Sub-MS4 Outfalls – Outfalls within the MS4 system upstream of the discharge point to Waters of the State, but usually where two large systems combine; and Private Outfalls – Point at which stormwater from private properties drain to either Waters of the State or MS4. Currently there are 14,424 MS4-Permitted Outfalls, 251 Sub-MS4 Outfalls, and 2,325 Private Outfalls mapped within Metro’s GIS database. Please note that in determining the point at which MS4 outfalls drain to Waters of the State, MWS NPDES had to assume the streams GIS layer was an accurate representation of actual streams, even though the coverage is more of an estimate and has not been field verified.



D. How many of these outfalls have been screened for dry weather discharges? In FY14, there were 477 separate stormwater infrastructure points screened for potential illicit discharges. All in all, there were a total of 517 ¼ mile grids completed, where an infrastructure point was screened or no MS4 infrastructure existed. Metro’s MS4 permit only requires one outfall located within a ¼ industrial/commercial-zoned grid to be screened for potential illicit discharges. At the conclusion of FY14, there were a total of 1,445 grids left to be screened prior to January 31, 2017.

E. How many of these have been screened more than once? None are required to be screened twice per our new permit, however, if a water leak or potential leak is suspected, NPDES initiates an IDDE investigation that is documented within the Cityworks database until the illicit discharge is eliminated.

F. What is your frequency for screening outfalls for illicit discharges? Each ¼ commercial/industrial grid will be screened before the end of Year 5 in the MS4 permit (January 31, 2017).

G. Do you have an ordinance that effectively prohibits illicit discharges? X Yes No

H. During this reporting period, how many illicit discharges/illegal connections have you discovered (or been reported to you)? During the FY14, there was one screening point for a suspected water leak and 2 field screening points for suspected illicit discharges. In addition, MWS NPDES initiated 114 separate water quality investigations during FY14, many of them originating from citizen complaints. Refer to Table 7H.1 for a complete listing of the 114 IDDE investigations initiated during FY14. In addition there were 20 spill response investigations and 5 private sewer discharge investigations initiated by NPDES during the reporting period. Refer to Tables 7H.2 and 7H.3 respectively. The Metro Health Department also responds to failing septic systems and issues notices and /or citations requiring failing systems to be abated. During the reporting period, the Health Department issued 27 notifications to property owners for failing septic systems. Refer to Table 7H.4. The Codes Sanitation Department also investigates sanitary sewer discharges from private properties.

I. Of those illicit discharges/illegal connections that have been discovered or reported, how many have been eliminated? All illicit connections found during the reporting period were dealt with swiftly.

J. Do you have the authority to recover cost for addressing illicit discharges? Yes X No

(Not Currently)

8. Stormwater Management for Municipal Operations A. Have stormwater pollution prevention plans (or an equivalent plan) been developed for: The NPDES Section developed a comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan, which was submitted in the previous annual report. The SWMP included site-specific Runoff Management Plans (RMPs) for key municipal Operations and Maintenance (O&M) facilities, which are plans equivalent to SWPPPs.

All municipal parks, ball fields and other recreational facilities X Yes No

RMPs were developed for O&M facilities such as golf course and park maintenance facilities. RMPs were not developed for every ball field location.

All municipal turf grass/landscape management activities (See Note Above) X Yes No

All municipal vehicle fueling, operation and maintenance activities

As per the MS4 Permit, RMPs were created for Municipal O&M facilities, some of which include fueling stations. Some fueling sites are stand-alone with no other maintenance operations present and RMPs were not necessary.

X Yes No

All municipal maintenance yards All O&M facilities located within the MS4. X Yes No

All municipal waste handling and disposal areas

SWPPPs were created for the Central Waste Water Treatment Plant and the Dry Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant as they retain a Tennessee Multi-Sector

X Yes No



Permit for Industrial Stormwater runoff. Metro Nashville does not operate any waste transfer facilities or transfer stations, as it contracts those services out to private companies.

B. Are stormwater inspections conducted at these facilities?

Each O&M facility where the RMPs were implemented require on-site personnel to perform weekly grounds inspections. MWS NPDES personnel will also perform audit inspections at a frequency yet to be determined.

X Yes No

If Yes, at what frequency are inspections conducted? See above answer

C. Have standard operating procedures or BMPs been developed for all MS4 field activities? (e.g., road repairs, catch basin cleaning, landscape management, etc.) SOPs have been developed for most of the major O&M field activities. MWS posted all of the RMPs and individual water quality SOPs as well as a general MS4 educational video to an internal intranet web page for each O&M Department to show their key field staff. During FY14, MWS NPDES worked with various maintenance Departments to have their employees watch the general MS4 video and review the water quality SOPs written specifically for their department activities.

X Yes No

D. Do you have a prioritization system for storm sewer system and permanent BMP inspections? In the first year of the permit, NPDES submitted a BMP Maintenance Verification Plan to TDEC that outlined a several prong strategy to ensure stormwater Permanent Treatment Practices (PTPs) are being properly maintained. The strategy varies according to which set of Metro’s regulations the PTPs were constructed under. The plan includes some inspections by MWS NPDES personnel as well as receipt and review of required maintenance reports received from owner/operators.

X Yes No

E. On average, how frequently are catch basins and other inline treatment systems inspected? Varies

F. On average, how frequently are catch basins and other inline treatment systems cleaned out/maintained? Frequency of cleanings depends on conditions. The MWS Stormwater Routine Maintenance Section has developed a rain route list of common stormwater infrastructure sites that clog with debris, leaves, gravel, and sediment on a frequent basis. Maintenance crews visit and clean out these sites/ perform maintenance prior to many large rain events. Table 8F.1 depicts the number of routine maintenance “work order” activities performed on MS4 stormwater infrastructure during FY14. Please note that each “work order” may include the cleaning out of multiple catch basins. In addition to performing routine maintenance and cleaning of stormwater infrastructure, MWS Stormwater also operates a preventative maintenance program by aggressively sweeping public curb and gutter streets. MWS Stormwater prioritizes certain streets for sweeping activities based on how dirty the streets are. Refer to Table 8F.2 for street sweeping collection numbers in FY14.

In addition to the routine maintenance activities such as inlet and pipe cleaning, MWS Stormwater also conducts various large engineered projects to correct neighborhood flooding issues. Recently, the MWS Stormwater NPDES Section coordinated with the MWS Stormwater Remedial Maintenance Division to complete a water quality evaluation form for each large flood control project. As a result, engineers are being asked to consider use of green infrastructure or other low impact design techniques. The MWS Stormwater Maintenance Division retroactively completed the water quality evaluation worksheets for all of the projects that have been designed within the last few years. As a result, MWS NPDES was able to determine that large MWS Stormwater Maintenance flood control projects either already built or being planned to be built will provide the following benefits to water quality.

• Removal of approximately 3,447 cubic yards of accumulated sediment, • Stabilization of approximately 544 linear feet of stream bank, and • Removal of approximately 587 linear feet of concrete lined ditch.



3.2.3 - Illicit discharge detection and elimination X Yes No

If Yes, identify the number of municipal employees trained Throughout FY14, there were approximately 14 MWS NPDES staff members that have the adequate training to respond to and enforce on illicit discharge investigations. Nine employees in particular within the NPDES Section are routinely available to respond to, sample, and follow-up with illicit discharge investigations. Note: NPDES has also worked with various O&M sections to properly identify and report illicit discharges.

3.2.4 - Construction site stormwater runoff control X Yes No

If Yes, identify the number of municipal employees trained At the time this report was completed, there were 14 NPDES staff members that had adequate training (TDEC Level 1 EPSC Workshop) to respond to and inspect stormwater runoff from construction activities. Six of the employees are dedicated fulltime to inspecting development sites under construction.

3.2.5 - Permanent stormwater management in new development and redevelopment

X Yes No

If Yes, identify the number of municipal employees trained During FY14, there were an average of 6 engineers employed within the Stormwater Development and Review Section that have been through the TDEC Level II Design Principles for Erosion Prevention and Sediment Control for Construction Sites. Four of the engineers are fully dedicated to reviewing plans for grading permit sites.

3.2.6 - Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations X Yes No

If Yes, identify the number of municipal employees trained In FY14, the MWS Stormwater NPDES section coordinated with several other Departments such as Parks, MWS System Services, and Public Works street maintenance sections.

9. Permanent Stormwater Controls A. Do you have an ordinance or other mechanism to require:

Site plan reviews of all new and re-development projects? X Yes No

Maintenance of stormwater management controls? X Yes No

Retrofitting of existing BMPs with green infrastructure BMPs? MWS Stormwater has compiled a new volume of the Stormwater Management Manual. Volume V (also referred to as the LID Manual) provides specifications for development or redevelopment sites to follow in installing “green” stormwater practices and provides an incentive for sites to use the green practices.

X Yes No

B What is the threshold for new/redevelopment stormwater plan review? (e.g., all projects, projects disturbing greater than one acre, etc.)

Metro actually has more-stringent requirements for development than TDEC’s Construction General Permit. All sites grading more than 10,000 square feet must obtain a grading permit. In order to obtain a grading permit, engineered plans must be submitted to the Stormwater Development Review Section for review and approval. All developments increasing the impervious footprint are required to install permanent stormwater treatment measures for water quality and quantity.

C. Have you implemented and enforced performance standards for permanent stormwater controls?

X Yes No

D. Do these performance standards go beyond the requirements found in paragraph and require that pre-development hydrology be met for:

Flow volumes (New LID Manual deals with reductions in site runoff volumes) X Yes No



Peak discharge rates X Yes No

Discharge frequency Yes X No

Flow duration Yes X No

E. Please provide the URL/reference where all permanent stormwater management standards can be found.

https://www.nashville.gov/Water-Services/Developers/Stormwater-Review/Stormwater-Management-Manual.aspx

F. How many development and redevelopment project plans were reviewed for this reporting period? 1,813 plans were submitted to the MWS Development Review Section during FY14. This number includes initial grading permit plans, re-submitted plans, as-built final submittals, etc. Refer to attached Table 9F.1 for the total number of plans reviewed by Stormwater Development Review staff in FY14.

G. How many development and redevelopment project plans were approved? 1,360 plans were approved during FY14. This number includes initial grading permit submittals, final as built signoffs, etc. Refer to Table 9F.1 for a complete listing. A better reflection of actual new development projects approved for construction would be the number of grading permits issued. In FY14, there were approximately 318 grading permits issued.

H. How many permanent stormwater management practices/facilities were inspected? There were 30inspections by NPDES staff, 122 by outside vendors for compliance with Metro’s BMP Maintenance Program (reporting requirements) for a total of 152 inspections. Please note that some of the 122 outside vendor inspections include inspections performed on Metro facilities.

I. How many were found to have inadequate maintenance? 9 of those inspected by NPDES required maintenance and were notified by NOV, 1 received an NOV for failure to submit annual report, and 4 received warning letters notifying owners of maintenance responsibility. The 122 inspected by outside vendors reported that maintenance was not required or was completed. Note: As reported in Section 11 below, additional NOVs were issued to BMP owners for failure to submit Annual Inspection/Maintenance Reports or for disturbance of an established water quality buffer.

J. Of those, how many were notified and remedied within 30 days? (If window is different than 30 days, please specify) Of the 9 notified by NOV, 5 are still in process. The other 4 were remedied within a timeframe of 35, 92, 151, and 183 days.

K. How many enforcement actions were taken that address inadequate maintenance? All notifications were Notices of Violation (no penalty). Additionally, several types of informational letters were sent to BMP owners. 34 letters were sent to new BMP owners outlining their maintenance and reporting responsibilities. 32 reminder letters were sent to owners approaching their first report due deadline. 55 letters were sent to owners who missed their first report that was due in 2013.

L. Do you use an electronic tool (e.g., GIS, database, spreadsheet) to track post-construction BMPs, inspections and maintenance? The NPDES Section currently uses a Microsoft Access database to track inspections. The database can be linked into GIS. Metro is currently mapping all post-construction stormwater treatment structures as a feature within the GIS database.

X Yes No

M. Do all municipal departments and/or staff (as relevant) have access to this tracking system?

Yes X No

N. Has the MS4 developed a program to allow for incentive standards for redeveloped sites?

X Yes No

O. How many maintenance agreements has the MS4 approved during the reporting period? Approximately 318, which is an assumed number based on the number of grading permits issued during FY14.



10. Industrial and High Risk Runoff A. Has the MS4 developed and implemented a program to monitor and control pollutants in runoff from the following types of industrial and high risk facilities and activities:

Municipal landfills All municipally operated landfills in Metro were closed years ago. The Metro Department of Public Works, Division of Solid Waste oversees all closed landfills associated groundwater monitoring.

X Yes No

Hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities X Yes No

Industries subject to reporting requirements pursuant to SARA Title III section 313

X Yes No

Industrial facilities that the MS4 determines are contributing a substantial loading of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system

X Yes No

B. Has the MS4 maintained a database of industrial and high risk facilities and activities in the City which includes the following types of industries: (Specific language within the MS4 permit requires Metro Nashville to monitor and control runoff from the following types of industrial facilities.)

• municipal landfills; • hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities; • industries subject to reporting requirements pursuant to SARA Title III, Section 313; and • industrial and commercial facilities that the permittee determines are contributing a substantial

loading of pollutants to the municipal separate storm sewer system. During the 1st permit year, the NPDES program built a robust industrial inspection database that comprises the above categories of industrial properties. In addition to the above category of industrial sites (Metro is required to inspect), NPDES has also included within the database all of the industrial facilities with active Tennessee Multi-Sector Permits (TMSPs) for industrial stormwater runoff, all facilities with active Ready Mix Concrete Permits (RMCPs), and all facilities with active individual NPDES permits to discharge process water. The database is a Microsoft Access database that is interactive with GIS. Please note that most TMSP or RMCP do not qualify as industrial facilities subject to SARA Title III, Section 313 reporting requirements and are not required to be inspected by Metro.

Those listed in 10 (A) above X Yes No

Facilities covered by individual NPDES permits X Yes No

Facilities covered under the TMSP X Yes No

Facilities regulated by the pretreatment program; and NPDES has a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet list of Pre-treatment Program sites for reference purposes, but the sites are not entered into the Industrial Monitoring Microsoft Access database.

X Yes No

Facilities defined as industries by the EPA stormwater application rule of November 16, 1990 C. Has the MS4 updated the database of industrial and high risk facilities and activities at least yearly?

X Yes No



If yes, provide a listing of any additionally identified industrial and high risk facilities and activities which discharge stormwater into the MS4:

Facility/Activity

Refer to the attached Table 10.C.1 for a listing of all the industrial facilities Metro is required to inspect within a 3 year period. As mentioned above, Metro also inventoried other industrial facilities such as TMSP and RMCP facilities in which they are not required to inspect within the 3 year period.

D. Has the MS4 developed and implemented procedures, including an inspector manual and checklist, for routine inspections of industrial and high risk facilities and activities? The MWS NPDES Program has created a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for performing inspections of industrial facilities.

X Yes No

E. Is the MS4 performing these inspections at such a rate that all required industries will be inspected at least once every three years? As per the MS4 permit, MWS NPDES is required to inspect approximately 47 industrial facilities within a three year period. In FY14, MWS NPDES completed the permit-required inspections ahead of schedule by inspecting 35 facilities. During the following year, MWS NPDES will begin proactive inspections of selected TMSP and RMCP facilities that are not required to be inspected by the MS4 permit. In addition to the numerous inspections that were conducted during FY14, MWS NPDES coordinated with TDEC and MWS Pretreatment to host an educational workshop for private industrial operators. F. Provide a listing of inspections performed during this reporting year: During FY14 MWS NPDES inspected 35 industrial facilities. Please note that MWS NPDES also performed follow-up inspections on Industrial facilities in which problems have been noted in the past, which are not represented on this list. Refer to Table 10.F.1 for a list of Industrial Facilities that were inspected during FY14

X Yes No

11. Enforcement A. Identify which of the following types of enforcement actions you used during the reporting period, indicate the number of actions, the minimum measure (e.g., construction, illicit discharge, permanent stormwater control) or note those for which you do not have authority: Please note that Stop Work Orders are included as part of the same Notice of Violation for construction sites.

B. Do you use an electronic tool (e.g., GIS, data base, spreadsheet) to track the locations, inspection results, and enforcement actions in your jurisdiction?

X Yes No

C. What are the 3 most common types of violations documented during this reporting period? Failure to maintain erosion prevention and sediment control measures, illicit discharges from construction and non-construction sites, and grading without applying for or receiving a Metro Grading Permit.



12. Program Resources A. What was your annual expenditure to implement the requirements of your MS4 NPDES permit and SWMP this past fiscal year? In FY14, the NPDES Section, which oversees various MS4 compliance activities, operated under a budget of $1.51 million. The overall MWS Stormwater Division’s budget, which includes the NPDES program, development and review engineers, and stormwater maintenance was $14.63 million. Please note that various other Metro Departments, while not included in this budget analysis, perform activities that contribute to MS4 permit compliance.

B. What is next fiscal year budget for implementing the requirements of your MS4 NPDES permit and SWMP?

The FY14 budget includes $1.51 million dedicated to the Stormwater NPDES Program, while the overall Stormwater Department is operating under a budget of $14.43 million.

C. Do you have an independent financing mechanism for your stormwater program?

X Yes No

D. If so, what is it/are they (e.g., stormwater fees), and what is the annual revenue derived from this mechanism?

Source: Stormwater User Fee; Estimated Amount $14 million

E. How many full time employees does your municipality devote to the stormwater program (specifically for implementing the stormwater program vs. municipal employees with other primary responsibilities that dovetail with stormwater issues)? Currently, there are 73 employees within the overall MWS Stormwater Division. There are 20 vacancies that have been budgeted and will hopefully be filled within FY15, bringing the total number of employees to 93.

F. Do you share program implementation responsibilities with any other entities? Yes X No

13. Evaluating/Measuring Progress A. What indicators do you use to evaluate the overall effectiveness of your Stormwater Management Program, how long have you been tracking them, and at what frequency? Note that these are not measurable goals for individual BMPs or tasks, but large-scale or long-term metrics for the overall program, such as in-stream macroinvertebrate community indices, measures of effective impervious cover in the watershed, indicators of in-stream hydrologic stability, etc?

The NPDES Section’s Watershed Group has, within the last few years, been performing detailed sampling for TMDL streams throughout Metro. While long-term trends cannot be extrapolated at this time, the data collection has proven beneficial in identifying segments of streams where pollutants are elevated or within loading requirements. Please refer to the attached Table 13A.1 (TMDL Sampling Data) for the complete quarterly sampling results for the FY14 reporting period. Please note that previous Annual Reports contain additional data for monitoring conducted during those reporting periods.

Over the years, the NPDES Program has also looked at other non-analytical data to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. Refer to Table 13A.2 (SWMP Quantifiable Statistics). Many of the functions such as IDDE efforts, public education, etc. the NPDES Program performs do not easily translate into quantifiable loading reduction numbers. As an attempt to quantify pollutant loading reduction numbers from various NPDES programs, an effort was made in the previous reporting periods to review individual IDDE case files for a four year period to calculate an estimated loading reduction on a yearly basis. Based on the calculations, it was found that the NPDES Program directly or indirectly contributed to the average estimated reduction of 8,568.14 pounds of general stormwater pollutants such as sediment, metals, etc. and 1,511,414 pounds of sewage-related waste to the MS4 or receiving streams each year. The exercise in calculating NPDES Program pollutant removal has also sparked a renewed effort within the program to improve documentation processes to produce more reliable pollutant reduction estimates by creating new reporting mechanisms within databases.

The NPDES Section performs various monitoring activities as prescribed by the MS4 Permit. The MS4 permit required sampling (i.e. Wet Weather Monitoring, Ambient Sampling, and Benthic Sampling) was changed in the current iteration of the permit. Part of the reasons that TDEC changed the permit-required monitoring plan was so the sample results would be more useful in performing data analyses. Since the new monitoring plan has only been implemented for 3 years, the dataset is incomplete and it will be several years before detailed analysis can be performed on the data. The Ambient Sampling, Wet Weather Sampling, and Benthic Sampling Program data is summarized in Table 13A.3, Table 13A.4, and Table 13A.5 respectively. The NPDES Section’s Watershed Group collected approximately 278 water quality samples and performed visual stream assessments on approximately 24.3 miles of 303(d)-listed streams within FY14.

B. Provide a summary of data (e.g., water quality information, performance data, modeling) collected in order to evaluate the performance of permanent stormwater controls installed throughout the system. This evaluation may include a comparison of current and past permanent stormwater control practices. As described above, it is hard to perform any statistical analysis on water quality sampling as sampling locations, methodologies, and frequencies have changed over the 3 permit cycles. Metro Nashville is in the third year of a more-consistent monitoring plan as part of the new MS4 permit and TMDL monitoring requirements. This data will hopefully be useful in performing future analysis on a watershed basis in determining SWMP effectiveness.

In reviewing some of the performance measures over the last 10 years (summarized in Table 13A.2), it becomes obvious to conclude that the overall number of water quality (IDDE) investigations and stormwater-specific enforcements have dramatically reduced the amount of pollutants into the MS4 and receiving streams. We believe this can be contributed to the robust IDDE program, public education and outreach and proactive monitoring/screening efforts.

C. What environmental quality trends have you documented over the duration of your stormwater program? (If you have reports or summaries, you can either attach them electronically, or provide the URL to where they may be found on the Web.) Reference the above answer. The NPDES Section has noticed fewer and fewer illicit discharge findings over the years that can be contributed to a robust IDDE program and increased public awareness. In addition, there have been fewer notices of violations issued for construction site infractions. Middle Tennessee contractors have become acutely aware of Metro’s construction site requirements and enforcement program and, therefore, have increasingly complied with our regulations.

14. Stormwater Management Program Update A. Describe any changes to the MS4 program, per Section 3.5 of the permit, during the reporting period including but not limited to:

Changes adding (but not subtracting or replacing) components, controls or other requirements. MWS NPDES requested and received several changes to the locations of wet weather monitoring locations as several locations (listed in the original permit) lacked necessary flow for monitoring purposes. A copy of the TDEC approval letters were included in previously submitted Annual Reports.

Changes to replace an ineffective or unfeasible BMP. There are no changes to report during FY14.

Information (e.g., additional acreage, outfalls, BMPs) on program area expansion based on annexation or newly urbanized areas. Just prior to issuance of this cycle of the MS4 permit, the former satellite city of Lakewood voted to dissolve and become part of Metro Nashville and Davidson County. Upon that transition becoming official, the NPDES program field screened the commercial areas for potential illicit discharge connections and collected all of the stormwater infrastructure into the GIS database, and began performing maintenance services for the newly annexed area.

Changes to the program as required by the division. No changes occurred during FY14.

Note: Generally, the construction of single family homes distrurbing more than 10,000 square feet is required to obtain a Grading Permit. Instead of requiring Single Family units disturbing less than 10,000 square feet to obtain a Grading Permit, MWS Stormwater provides oversight by requiring sites to submit checklists (with plans) for sign-off required from MWS Stormwater prior to obtaining the Building Permit. MWS Stormwater performs numerous inspections on single family homes for the sole purpose of reviewing erosion and sediment controls.

* The Number of Plan Submittals line includes: Excel spreadsheet tracked "Site Plan Reviews" that are reviewed for Codes permits and KIVA tracked Grading Plans & As-Builts as well as Preliminaries / Finals that are reviewed for the Planning Department. It is all initial submittals, resubmittals and additional information submitted. The excel spreadsheet is called "MonthlyReport_SWEngr(year).xls" and it can be found in the following location, "S:\DevReview\Codes Section\Monthly Reports\SWEngr". The new KIVA report is called "SW_ANNUAL" described as "SW PERMIT ANNUAL REPORTING". The numbers exclude SWUF reviews because they are not plan reviews. * The Number of Plan Approvals line include Grading Plans review results of APPROVED, CONDITIONALLY APPROVED (Approved Except as Noted) and NO PERMIT Required. The number also includes Preliminaries / Finals that are reviewed for the Planning Department if the result code is APPROVED, COND, IGNORENA. The numbers in this row also now include SWEngr's site plan reviews with a result of Approved because the review result is now tracked separately. The numbers in this row exclude Grading Plans Approved numbers with review results of Returned for Corrections, Withdrawn, Hold or Denied. The numbers in this row also exclude SWUF reviews because they are not plan reviews. The new KIVA report is called "SW_ANNUAL" described as "SW PERMIT ANNUAL REPORTING" and it pulls all Grading Permit and Preliminary/Final reviews for this line with the proper result code within a given time frame. The excel spreadsheet for site plan reviews is called "MonthlyReport_SWEngr(year).xls" (or some variation of that format) and it can be found in the following location, "S:\DevReview\Codes Section\Monthly Reports\SWEngr". It shows which reviews had a result of Approved in a given month.

Introduction: As per the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit, Metro Nashville is required to perform an annual assessment of potential stormwater impacts to federal and state-protected aquatic species known to exist within Metro Nashville Davidson County (Metro). In order to perform the assessment, the Metro Water Services (MWS) Stormwater NPDES Section downloaded a list of aquatic species located within Davidson County. In order to assess potential impacts to rare species, the list of rare aquatic species was analyzed and broken into specific habitat categories. Table 1 details the list of rare aquatic species that have been known to occur within Davidson County. According to the Tennessee Department of Conservation (TDEC) Natural Heritage Program (NHP), Rare Species Inventory Program there are 19 rare or protected aquatic species that have known to occur or have historically occurred within Davidson County. Only 5 of the 19 rare aquatic species have a federal protection status, all of which are listed as “Endangered”, while 16 of the rare aquatic species have been listed by the state of Tennessee with one of the following legal protection status:

• “D” Deemed in Need of Management, • “E” Endangered, and, • “T” Threatened

Typical Habitat Requirements: While the 19 species may require specific habitat conditions, the general type of aquatic habitat can be broken into 3 main categories:

• Large River/Lake – The Cumberland River is the only large river system within Davidson County. The Cumberland River has portions of two impoundments (Cheatham Lake and Old Hickory Lake) within Davidson County. Due to the dilution factor, Nashville’s stormwater runoff would have negligible effects of the water quality/habitat of the Cumberland River.

• Small Streams to Small/Medium Rivers – This particular habitat represents all of the smaller headwater streams, creeks and small rivers that drain into the Cumberland River. The small streams/rivers are more susceptible to impacts from stormwater runoff from the MS4.

• Ponds/Wetlands/Springs – This particular habitat describes floodplain wetlands, farm ponds and springheads located throughout the county, which would have the potential of being impacted by MS4 runoff.

Potential Impacts from MS4 Runoff: Rare species that inhabit smaller streams and rivers, ponds, wetlands, and springs would be the most vulnerable to potential impacts from MS4 runoff. Impacts from MS4 runoff includes:

• Increased sediment loads smothering natural stream substrate; • Increased nutrient runoff that cause sporadic algal blooms and accompanying

reductions in available oxygen; • Increased levels of toxic chemicals such as pesticides, oils, etc; • General loss of habitat from development activities.

Metro Nashville’s Measures to Prevent Impacts to Aquatic Rare Species: Metro Nashville’s MS4 program deploys a simple technique to protect against impacts to rare aquatic species: “Protect all of Nashville’s Aquatic Habitat”. In order to protect Nashville’s aquatic habitat, a three-prong approach is in place:

1. Control Future Development – a) Establish local regulations that prevent future development from

destroying aquatic habitat. b) Monitor runoff during construction to prevent the destruction of aquatic

habitat c) Enforce on developments that violate local construction regulations that

could lead to the further destruction of aquatic resources. 2. Control the quality of stormwater runoff from existing properties

a) Establish local regulations that prevent the discharging of pollutants to waterways

b) Monitor existing properties to ensure pollutants are not being discharged to the waterways.

c) Enforce on properties/individuals that violate local water pollution laws that could potentially impact aquatic habitat.

3. Monitor the overall water quality and health of Nashville’s streams a) Analytical sampling of certain water quality parameters b) Rotating biological surveys of Davidson County streams.

Controlling Future Development Metro Nashville has established strict regulations protecting aquatic resources from impacts associated with development activities. All development or redevelopment activities that are over 10,000 square feet in overall footprint or involve more than 100 cubic yards of fill are required to obtain grading permits from the Metro Water Services (MWS) Stormwater Division. In order to obtain a grading permit from MWS, engineered plans have to be developed that illustrate how stormwater runoff will be managed during and after development. Strict erosion and sediment control measures are required at all grading permit properties during construction. In order to ensure that erosion and sediment controls are maintained throughout construction, the MWS Stormwater NPDES Section has 6 inspectors that inspect grading permit site construction control measures. Metro Nashville also requires protection from impacts to aquatic resources after the construction phase of projects by requiring grading permit properties to install



permanent stormwater treatment measures that are designed to treat/address both the volume and quality of runoff from the property. In addition to requiring development or redevelopment activities to obtain permits and treat stormwater runoff, Metro Nashville was also one of the first municipalities in the state to establish no-disturb buffers along streams and other water resources within Metro Nashville, Davidson County. Development activities that demonstrate a hardship requiring some impacts to the no-disturb riparian buffer (i.e. for a bridge crossing, etc.) are required to go through a strict variance appeal process. Variance requests for stream crossing or other direct impacts to water resources are not granted unless any necessary TDEC Aquatic Resource Alteration Permits (ARAPs) or Section 404 permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) are obtained, which cannot be issued if protected species are impacted. Controlling the Quality of Stormwater Runoff from Existing Properties Metro Nashville has the following specific ordinance in place that prevents the discharge of pollutants to storm drains or community waters: 15.64.205 - Non-stormwater discharges.

A. Definitions. "Community waters" means any and all rivers, streams, creeks,

branches, lakes, reservoirs, ponds, drainage systems, springs, wetland, wells and other bodies of surface or subsurface water, natural or artificial, lying within or forming a part of the boundaries of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

"Contaminant" means any physical, chemical, biological or radiological substance or matter.

"Director" means the Director of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County's Department of Water and Sewerage Services, or his designee.

"Discharge" means any substance disposed, deposited, spilled, poured, injected, seeped, dumped, leaked, or placed by any means, intentionally or unintentionally, into community waters, the waters of the state, or any area draining directly or indirectly into the municipal stormwater system of the metropolitan government.

"Metropolitan government" means the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County.

"Municipal separate storm sewer system of the metropolitan government" means a conveyance, or system of conveyances (including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, and storm drains) designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater; provided, however, that sanitary and combined sewers are not included in the definition of the municipal separate storm sewer system.



"Non-stormwater discharge" means any discharge to the municipal separate storm sewer system except as permitted by subsection C of this section.

"Waters of the state" means any water, surface or underground, lying within or forming a part of the boundaries of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, over which the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation exercises primary control with respect to stormwater permits.

B. Except as hereinafter provided, all non-stormwater discharges into community waters, into the waters of the state, or into the municipal separate storm sewer system of the metropolitan government are prohibited and are declared to be unlawful.

C. Unless the director has identified them as a source of contaminants to community waters, the waters of the state, or the municipal separate storm sewer system of the metropolitan government, the following discharges are permitted:

1. Stormwater as defined in TCA Section 68-221-1102(5); 2. Water line flushing; 3. Landscape irrigation; 4. Diverted stream flows; 5. Rising ground waters; 6. Uncontaminated groundwater infiltration (as defined at 40 CFR 35.2005(20)) to separate storm sewers; 7. Uncontaminated pumped groundwater; 8. Discharges from potable water sources; 9. Foundation drains; 10. Air conditioning condensate; 11. Irrigation water; 12. Springs; 13. Water from crawl space pumps; 14. Footing drains; 15. Lawn watering; 16. Individual residential car washing; 17. Flows from riparian habitats and wetlands; 18. Dechlorinated swimming pool discharges; 19. Street wash waters resulting from normal street cleaning operations; 20. Discharges or flows from emergency fire fighting activities.

D. The director, with the approval of the mayor, shall have authority to implement this section by appropriate regulations. Such regulations may include but are not limited to provisions for inspection of points of origin of known or suspected non-permitted discharges by appropriate personnel of the metropolitan government.

E. Discharges pursuant to a valid and effective NPDES permit issued by the State of Tennessee are not prohibited by this section.



F. The provisions of this section, including subsection C of this section, shall not apply to sanitary or combined sewers, which are governed by Chapter 15.40 of the Metropolitan Code of Laws.

G. Violation of this section shall subject the violator to a civil penalty of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five thousand dollars per day for each day of violation. Each day of violation may constitute a separate violation.

NPDES issues enforcement notices and administrative penalties to existing facilities found to be in violation of the above non-stormwater discharge code. In addition to controlling polluted runoff from construction activity, the MWS Stormwater NPDES Section implements various other pollution prevention programs:

• Industrial Inspection/Monitoring Program • Proactive Field Screening/Illicit Discharge Detection Elimination Program • Pollution Reporting Hotline • Sewer Leak Detection Program (Using Thermography Technology) • Post-Construction Stormwater Treatment BMP inspection/maintenance

verification program • Public Involvement/Education

Monitoring the Overall Water Quality and Health of Nashville’s Streams MWS Stormwater NPDES Office performs intense monitoring of Metro Nashville, Davidson County streams. Dr. Steve Winesett of the NPDES Division has received a permit from the USFWS to perform surveys within the Mill Creek watershed (home to the endangered Nashville Crayfish). The following programs involve field assessments of streams:

• Ambient Sampling - Seasonal water quality samples are taken and analyzed for potential pollutants. Various streams are sampled each year on a rotating basis.

• TMDL Monitoring – Quarterly flow weighted samples are collected and analyzed for bacterial and TSS of various/rotating stream segments in which TMDLs have been developed.

• Visual Stream Assessments – All State-listed 303(d) stream segments with MS4 outfalls are visually inspected on a 5 year cycle.

• Benthic Surveys – Seasonal benthic surveys are performed on various streams each year. The benthic sampling coincides with the same stream rotation schedule as the ambient sampling.

If abnormalities are found in any of the above monitoring results, individual investigations are initiated to find and eliminate potential sources of pollution. Conclusion: Metro Nashville’s MS4 program has taken substantial steps to protect aquatic resources within Metro Nashville, Davidson County. By virtue of protecting the Nashville’s water resources, critical habitat required for aquatic species has also been preserved/ protected. During this permit year, there have not been any know discharges form the MS4 that have caused the destruction of a rare species or their critical habitat.
